A síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) é uma doença neurológica aguda caracterizada por resposta autoimune que ataca o sistema nervoso periférico, resultando em fraqueza muscular progressiva e, casos graves, paralisia. Este estudo revisa os fatores prognósticos e desafios clínicos associados à recuperação na SGB, com foco identificação marcadores influenciam desfecho funcional dos pacientes. metodologia baseia-se revisão narrativa da literatura, consulta às bases dados como PubMed, SciELO Google...
Abstract. Background: Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) is one of the most challenging problems in orthopaedic surgery and musculoskeletal infections specifically. Some very important controversies remain strong evidence-based recommendations are still lacking many clinical aspects. Therefore, an undisputed methodology treatment does not exist yet there different valid approaches.Purposes: To draw a picture practice patterns around Europe understand motivations European Bone & Society...
Over the last decades, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have proven to be remarkable tools for drug delivery and theranostic applications in cancer treatment. On other hand, Pt(IV) prodrugs been employed as an interesting alternative more common Pt(II) complexes, such cisplatin, chemotherapy. Searching design image-guided nanocarrier deliver selectively tumors expressing gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), we synthesized small core AuNPs carrying a thiolated DOTA derivative, GRPR-targeting...
Resumo Objetivo Comparar os resultados funcionais entre pacientes com fratura complexa do úmero proximal submetidos a artroplastia reversa tubérculos consolidados e não consolidados. O objetivo secundário foi determinar taxa de consolidação dos este tipo prótese. Métodos Estudo coorte, retrospectivo, coleta prospectiva dados. No total, 28 cumpriram critérios inclusão: idade superior 65 anos, prótese ombro por (3 ou 4 partes, segundo Neer), tempo seguimento mínimo 24 meses. Aos seis meses,...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is paramount in the assessment of knee pathology, particularly when planning for a surgical procedure. This study compared diagnostic accuracy MRI reading pathological knees by radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons.Cross-sectional comprising 80 randomly selected patients previously submitted to arthroscopic surgery after clinical examination MRI. A diagnosis interpretation was requested from two teams, one another surgeons. The conclusions each team were...
A ressonância magnética (RM) é primordial na avaliação de patologias do joelho, particularmente no planejamento um procedimento cirúrgico. Este estudo comparou a precisão diagnóstica leitura dos resultados da RM joelhos patológicos por radiologistas e cirurgiões ortopédicos. Estudo transversal com 80 pacientes, selecionados aleatoriamente, previamente submetidos à cirurgia artroscópica após exame clínico RM. Foi solicitado diagnóstico duas equipes, uma outra As conclusões cada equipe foram...
Na maioria das vezes, a avaliação da artroplastia articulação metacarpofalangeana com implante de silicone é feita apenas por meio escores funcionais. Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender correlação entre função, força e alinhamento percebidos observados. transversal incluiu todas as 11 mulheres (15 mãos) submetidas à no segundo ao quinto dedo devido artrite reumatoide em um período sete anos. As medições basearam‐se Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire, Lafayette Purdue Pegboard nas...
A 64-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of recurrent conjunctivitis. He was evaluated by an ophthalmologist and submitted to CT scan that revealed intraconic mass invasion the lateral orbital wall. operated, completely removed (with preservation intraorbital structures) wall rebuilt. The histopathological analysis adenoid cystic carcinoma lacrimal gland. 4 months later painful recurrence lesion diagnosed roof eyelids. After multidisciplinary discussion request from patient,...
Case: A case of bilateral osteochondral lesions the first phalanx hallux is reported. Despite this, only one foot was symptomatic. We resected lesion and tightened capsule without bone-graft interposition with good clinical results. Conclusion: This suggests that not all manifest clinically less aggressive treatments seem to be effective.
Evaluation of rheumatoid hand-associated metacarpophalangeal joint silicone arthroplasty most often relies on functional scores alone. This study aimed to understand the correlation between perceived and observed function, strength, alignment.Cross-sectional including all 11 women (15 hands) submitted second fifth due arthritis involvement for a time period seven years. Measurements relied Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire, Lafayette Purdue Pegboard, pinch grip analysis lateral "OK-sign"...
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus was identified in Wuhan (China), from cluster of patients with unexplained pneumonia and termed SARS-CoV-2, responsible for Coronavirus Disease (COVID)-19. Medical imaging modalities play an important role the management COVID-19 infection. Consequently, it is necessary to identify strategies procedures infection control medical department.
